Fair enough guys there were some shocking players out there, but seriously you are saying this player gone and this player gone. but far out who does NSW have to replace them, how about this then I would make the following changes for Origin 3
1. B. Stewart - played well enough to hold spot
2. Burt/Covell - Solid, goal kickers, I think Covell be good in SOO
3. King - Is not a winger and that showed defensively tonight
4. Cooper - Played ok, if not him then leave Lyon
5. Hayne - Showed me he can play at level
6. Bird - Played well in limited time, will do well at 5/8th
7. Kimmorely - Absolutely Brilliant game
8. O Mealey - Needs to lift yes, but other props are ****
9. Buderous - Solid game, needs more dummy half running
10. Kite - Solid in time on the field
11. Hindmarsh - leave him on for longer and then he wont play ****
12. Hoffman - Played solid, nothing special in first game
13. Gallen - Needs to be bought into the team, NSW needs some passion
14. Mason - Thought he played well, bench spot to cover FR and SR
15. White - Back up prop
16. Ryan - Workhorse, but dont think should get 80mins
17. k. Gidley - Bring him back into the side for variety of positions, but if he doesnt come good by next origin game have Lyon as he can play 5/8th n move Bird to forwards.
Oh and even though I know it wont happen, get a better coach in there, Murray struggles, Give Bellamy or someone a go
